Title

Earth Observation Data Management Systems

Description

Focus is on Earth Observation related data processing and systems. Emphasis is on the challenges of new information technology and web-based technologies (e.g. Big Data, Cloud-based operations, crowd sourcing, etc) for acquisition, communication, processing, dissemination and archiving systems. The session also covers innovative methods for the extraction of information from these large data systems (e.g. machine learning) and methods for making the results available to decision makers. Presentation of International coordination and programmes - on Earth Observation data -related systems - is also encouraged.
